December 17, 2015 – Chelsea Football Club today announced that it has parted ways with its manager Jose Mourinho.
He was asked to leave the club for recording series of poor performance in recent times. Chelsea said on its website that both parties parted ways by mutual consent.
“But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways.
“All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013”, Chelsea said on its website.
While with the club, Mourinho won three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins which made him the most successful manager in its 110-year history.
“The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge.
“The club’s focus is now on ensuring our talented squad reaches its potential.
There will be no further comment until a new appointment is made”, Chelsea said.
